Enzymatic oxidative dearomatization is an efficient way to generate chiral molecules from simple arenes. One example is the flavin-dependent monooxygenase SorbC involved in sorbicillinoid biosynthesis. However, SorbC requires a long-chain keto substituent at its phenolic substrate, thus preventing its application beyond the synthesis of natural sorbicillinoids or close structural analogues. This work describes an approach to broaden the accessible product spectrum of SorbC by employing an ester functionality mimicking the natural substrate structure during enzymatic oxidation.

A series of hydroxyacetophenones was prepared for evaluation as leukotriene B4 (LTB4) receptor antagonists, culminating in 1-oxy>phenyl>ethanone (compound 35, LY255283).Using an assay for inhibition of specific LTB4 binding to human PMN, we found that substitution of a nonpolar substituent in the 5-position was required for activity.Best activity was realized with hydrogen in the 3-position, hydroxyl in the 2-position, short chain alkyl ketone in the 1-position, and a six- or eight-carbon chain linking the oxygen in the 4-position with an unsaturated terminal function.Compound 35, having an IC50 of 87 nM in the binding assay, was chosen for further preclinical evaluation.
